01 · Who Christina works with

Christina works with relationship issues, family conflicts and parenting issues

Christina lists 15 specialisms and 32 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Christina chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.

02 · In Christina's own words

What Christina says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Florida with six years of clinical experience. I have worked with a wide range of concerns from depression, anxiety, parenting issues, relational/familial problems and self-esteem. I take an integrative approach to wellness and believe that you embody the solutions you are looking for. My style can be described as warm, compassionate and non-judgmental. It is my job to create a safe space for you to achieve the goals that you desire. I am a solution-focused Therapist, but will tailor the method I use based on your needs and comfort. This could include but is not limited to cognitive-behavioral therapy, structural family therapy or client-centered therapy. It takes a great deal of courage to seek wellness and to be ready to take action toward that overarching goal. I am here to empower, support and challenge you on that journey when you are ready. I look forward to working with you!

03 · How Christina works

The 4 approaches Christina lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Christina lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Christina's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Christina runs a session.

Client-Centred TherapyPerson-centred · Rogerian

The therapist does not steer toward a technique or a diagnosis. They offer sustained, non-judgemental attention and reflect back what they hear, on the premise that people find their own direction when they are genuinely listened to. Often what people mean by “someone who just gets it”.

Mindfulness-Based TherapyMBCT

Trains attention on what is happening right now - body, breath, the thought as it arrives - so distress can be observed rather than automatically acted on. Strongest evidence is in preventing depression from recurring, and it is usually taught as a practice you keep doing outside the session.

Solution-Focused Brief TherapySFBT

Starts from where you want to end up rather than from how you got here. Sessions look for the times the problem is already smaller and work out what is different about those, so the number of sessions tends to be short and the work concrete.

Internal Family SystemsIFS

Treats the mind as made up of parts - the critic, the one who withdraws, the one that keeps everything running - each of which is trying to protect you. The work is getting to know them rather than overruling them.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Christina practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Christina's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Christina at this point.

2. Naming Christina specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Christina is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Christina.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Christina

Built from what Christina actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Christina's - Christina has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Christina's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Christina. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
